    Can fishery subsidy improve fishermen’s income?——evidence from China’s coastal areas
    (Frontiers Media S.A., 2025-07-09) Li Y; Pham Do KH; Shakur S; Sun X; Paramo J
    Numerous studies have demonstrated that fishery subsidies play a role in income redistribution, potentially contributing to economic inequality. Additionally, since fishermen are highly dependent on the marine environment, there may be a connection between marine pollution and their income levels. This study explores the effects of fishery subsidies and marine environmental pollution on fishermen’s income and income inequality using panel data from 11 coastal provinces and municipalities in China from 2006 to 2020. Applying panel fixed effect model and quantile regression models, the results show that fishery subsidies significantly increase income, but disproportionately benefit higher-income fishermen, thereby exacerbating income inequality. Moreover, the relationship between marine pollution and income is non-linear: moderate pollution is associated with income gains, while severe pollution reduces income. These findings suggest that subsidy policies should be better targeted, and stricter marine environmental regulation is necessary to protect vulnerable fishing communities

    Food risk in consumers' eye and their consumption responses: evidence from Hanoi survey
    (Emerald Publishing Limited, 2021-06-08) Ha TM; Shakur S; Pham Do KH
    Purpose This paper analyses Hanoi consumers' evaluation of food risk and response to the perceived risk. Design/methodology/approach The authors employed the mixed method approach that integrates segmentation analysis on the survey data and information from group discussions. Findings Based on consumers' risk rating of six food groups and level of food safety worry, the authors identified four distinct consumer segments: low, moderate, high and very-high-risk perception. The authors found the existence of widespread food safety concerns among Hanoi consumers. Living in an urban region was associated with a higher level of food risk perception. Moderate, high and very-high-risk perception segments exhibited a very low level of institutional trust and subjective control over hazards. Response to the perceived risk differed across segments. “Very high-risk perception” was associated with the most risk-averse behaviour, putting more effort into seeking food safety information and engaging more in supermarket purchase. Consumers with a low and moderate perceived food risk participate more in self-supply of food to reduce their food safety concern. Practical implications The paper provides empirical evidence on consumers' evaluation of food risk and their risk-reducing strategies to support the risk communication in Vietnam. Social implications Enhancing institutional trust and risk communication including hazard education can improve consumer confidence in food. Originality/value This is the first segmentation study on consumer food risk perception in Vietnam.
